So much Contamination hate.

I love it, one of the most entertaining Arrow Video releases in my opinion.

That's something I really liked about the Grindhouse Releasing sets of The Beyond, Pieces, and Cannibal Ferox, and the Arrow Video Nekromantik and Deep Red sets. They all have interesting and distinctive soundtracks, so to have the CD included was a big selling point.

Quite a few American releases do this, Blue Underground for example and Grindhouse. I think it's a very valuable bonus to a set, I got Halloween 3 BD from Germany a couple of years ago and it come with a CD which was great! I think The Wicker Man did as well.

I forgot about Deep Red I have just stuck it on my ever increasing 'To Watch' pile and forgot about it.

I was (and still am!) gutted about missing the deluxe Deep Red.

Contamination was the first video nasty that I ever owned. Its a fantastic piece of trash with some great effects and a quality soundtrack.

Agreed. It didn't have a boring moment in my opinion.

On other 88 Films related news, I just received my Sorority Babes, came in a bubblemailer, slipcover is damaged in at least 3 places.

Why the hell did they go back to bubblemailers? They just changed to cardboard ones last year after a lot of feedback. This completely defeats the purpose of pre-ordering to get the slipcover.

Can't wait to get all those creased Indiegogo slips.

If you are referring to the limited edition, numbered ones, I have the Suspiria release, and wish I had bought the others.

Yes, limited to 60,000 they were.
